Conformance Committee

The Conformance Committee co-chaired by Ken Rehor, Cisco Systems, and Ian Sutherland, Oracle, works to establish a common understanding of the VoiceXML specification and its dependencies and oversees the VoiceXML Platform Certification Program. The VoiceXML Platform Certification Program certifies that the fundamental speech, web, and telephony standards required by VoiceXML have been correctly implemented by VoiceXML platforms. Platform certification has helped to stabilize and mature the industry by encouraging the cross-vendor interoperability of platforms, tools, and applications. To date, the VoiceXML Platform Certification Program has certified 25 VoiceXML platforms.
